Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 72km/hr
Final velocity = 0km/hr
Time taken = 25s
Unknown:
Acceleration = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;
1000m = 1km
3600s = 1hr
72km/hr;
1km/hr = 0.278m/s
72km/hr = 0.278 x 72 = 20.02m/s
Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;
Acceleration =
Acceleration =
= -0.8m/s
The car is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s
Answer:
The speed of the plank relative to the ice is:

Explanation:
Here we can use momentum conservation. Do not forget it is relative to the ice.
(1)
Where:
- m(g) is the mass of the girl
- m(p) is the mass of the plank
- v(g) is the speed of the girl
- v(p) is the speed of the plank
Now, as we have relative velocities, we have:
(2)
v(g/b) is the speed of the girl relative to the plank
Solving the system of equations (1) and (2)

The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistors (R total = ΣRi).
R total = R1 + R2 + R3 = (3 + 4 + 5) Ω = 12 Ω
